I am going into my senior year at TUHS. I will hold positions as ASB Vice President, and Oil Tech AADE Secretary. TUHS has given me many opportunities to do what I enjoy and help me go to college. They give us the ability to be dual enrolled at Taft College, and use those credits at the high school. The school has amazing teachers that make learning enjoyable. Electives that are offered are amazing also. I think that we also have a lot of ASB events such as rallies and dress up days. I think the only I would change at TUHS would be student and teacher involvement if it was possible. We just need to have more school spirit and fun as a whole.

What I like about my school Taft Union is that we have the best staff here. They are always so friendly and the most encouraging teachers I have met. Their always trying to make the school a better place and I appreciate that. If there was anything I could change about the school I would change the school spirit. I would love to see our school with kids dressing up on dress up days or showing up to the events. If I could go back to being a freshman I would've dressed up for it all and went to every school event.

Low educational standards, minimal opportunity. i did not feel safe or as if the school cared for the students overall. Very minimal accelerated courses with even lower chances of passing these tests. Was not prepared as i arrived at UC Berkeley.
